Vanderpump Rules star Yolanda Hadid recently got engaged to the love of her life, Joseph Jingoli. The duo have been romantically linked since 2019 and Joseph currently serves as the CEO of a construction company called Jingoli, working on various projects in education, gaming, and more.
Yolanda revealed her engagement news to People magazine on August 29, 2024, adding that the former popped the question around two years ago in Holland.
In another conversation with Architectural Digest the same day, Hadid recalled the time when she met Jingoli at a farm in Pennsylvania in 2017 and the latter took her to a horse show for a date in Texas. Yolanda addressed the same by describing it as her "first introduction to Texas" and added:
"We went straight to Fort Worth, where there was a huge horse show with hundreds and hundreds of real, authentic cowboys. It was like being dropped right into a Western movie."
Yolanda Hadid also spoke about her attraction to horses and Texas, saying that the culture of the state is completely different from others.

As mentioned, Joseph Jingoli has been working for a construction company. While detailed information on his early life remains unknown, an Instagram post shared by Yolanda revealed that he was born on September 12 and is 66 years old.
Apart from his construction company, he launched a nonprofit organization called the Facilitating Active Recovery Mission, also called F.A.R.M. The organization aims to employ young people in Joseph's farm, Harmony Hollow. It additionally connects everyone to professionals in Jingoli's network so that they can select a career for themselves.
In an interview with PhillyVoice.com in 2015, Joseph said that the company does not focus only on farming. He said that it attempts to make people realize about their responsibilities and added:
"Responsibility for showing up on time, for being part of a team, for having others depend on you, for having other living things depending on you. … The farm is simply one stop on a way to a career, whether with our company or other companies. I see this every day with young people working on the farm."
While he is trending in the headlines after getting engaged to Yolanda Hadid, the duo have been spotted together on different occasions in the past. While their romance began around five years ago, the pair made their first public appearance on the red carpet of the Global Lyme Alliance's Annual Gala held in New York City in 2019.
He has been featured in the social media posts shared by Hadid and has even spent a lot of time with Yolanda's daughters, who were born from her previous relationships. Yolanda's children have also approved of her romantic link to Joseph.

While speaking to People magazine in 2018, Yolanda said that she was on a break after her divorce from David Foster, adding that she was willing to become an independent woman. She stated that she was not interested in dating anyone at the time and added:
"I really started focusing. I made a love spiral and wrote down exactly everything that was important to me in a man and he magically just rang the doorbell at the farm."
However, Yolanda Hadid later said in The Daily Dish on Bravo that she was unwilling to reveal much about her private life. She stated that their "farm life" helped them to get to know more about each other.
